Behind Closed Doors today

The organisation has gone from strength to strength and now has two full time and two part time members of staff. There is a volunteer programme in place and since 2004, sixteen volunteers have been recruited and trained, with fourteen of them offering support to the organisation. We currently have three volunteers offering their time to the organisation.

Behind Closed Doors also offers a recovery programme. Piloted in 2007, this new and innovative programme has given women the opportunity to rebuild their lives following the abuse they have endured. This helps women to implement their own strategies of coping and moving forward in the longer term, overcoming both physical and emotional abuse. This is the only recovery programme available in Leeds.

BCD is committed to the provision of comprehensive support to women in living in Leeds, including the outlying rural areas.
